My ever growing saga of my love for Urban Decay continues with this little palette I bought the other day. Seeing a lot of other bloggers discuss it made me really interested in the concept and I must admit- it's a pretty good purchase to make for a variety of reasons (partly due to the amazing packaging, the urban decay naked range is so sophisticated and looks amazing on show)
Unfortunatly, the Urban Decay store I was in didn't have the different shades of colours on show (such a streak, the newest colour in the 'flushed' range which is suited for paler skin' so the bronzer included is quite dark. The bronzer is a deep red/brown shimmery bronzer with a great colour pay off so not too much product is used at once. Although, it does take quite a lot of blending. Since the bronzer is so shimmery I wouldn't use it for the likes of contouring etc, but more if you want to obtain a sunkissed glow.
The highighter isnt exactly the type of colour I like usually, this one is incredibly shimmery and the dark gold colour makes it seem more like a strange shimmery bronzer than something that gives you a natural glow. I find it quite an unusual consistency and it has a habit of fallout due to the amount of shimmer.
The blusher however is a beautiful colour. It's a deep matte mauve which works incredibly well with a coral lip and beachy waves in your hair. Definitely the blush to give you a wee summer glow. It's my favourite part of the whole palette and it applies very evenly.
Personally, I would go for the paler colour if you have pale skin like me as the amount of shimmer in the 'strip' palette causes some extreme fall out. Although, for £22 this is quite a bargain for a blush, bronzer and highlight. It's all you could really ask for, considering some high end blushes on their own cost like £20, this is definitely a product I'd recommend who wants to buy some high end make up without splurging too much. It's also perfect for travelling due to how compact it is!
